Cyprus. The Society for the Friends

of Armenia and Committee of
Armenian Refugees Founda-

tion were based in Cyprus,
while certain Anatolian Ar-

menian groups who were pro-
voked into rioting were being

increasingly directed and man-
aged from Cyprus. Sivasliyan, who

was the head of Hunchakian Revolu-
tionary Party based in Britain and a lawyer

located in Famagusta, was enthusiastically
rallying the Armenians of the island against

the Ottoman Empire and tried to convince
them to participate in the riots taking place

on the mainland.
A Cyprus coin from 1890 with
Cyprus wasn't only a cultural and social Queen Victoria's picture on it

center used to incite certain Armenian
groups; it was also an important logistics hub

for the insurgency. Ottoman Armenians and European Armenians that sym-
pathized with the riots were communicating via Cyprus. Similarly, pro-riot

Armenians who fled abroad or who planned to return to Anatolia could do
so secretly by way of Cyprus. After taking part in riots in Aleppo, Diyarbakır,

Bitlis, Hakkari and Van, the Armenian rebels would board ships in Isk-
enderun and Mersin and sail to Cyprus. They easily changed identities, tak-

ing advantage of British rule, and then left for Europe or the US.

Weapons purchased by certain Armenian groups in Europe were also dis-
patched to Armenian insurgents via Cyprus. The entire operation was mas-

terminded, controlled and guided by the British deep state. Cyprus wasn't on-
ly close to Anatolia; it was also a threat to various Ottoman cities in modern

Syria and Lebanon's borders, due to the presence of some Armenian rebels,
who used the island as a base. However, the Ottomans lacked the infrastruc-

ture to prevent this traffic or even to monitor developments.
